Thank you for your inquiry.

Shenzhen Bay port is still working so the buses should be still available, however, the bus schedule may greatly changed. You may check with some bus company in HK like EEbus etc for details. Oor you can transfer to the port directly by city bus and then enter HK from there.

Thank you for your inquiry.

We are sorry that we did not have this schedule online. Sorry about the inconvenience. Usually there are around 33 C rides a day from Changsha Railway Station to Xiangtan Station. The earliest ride departs at 6:45am and the final one is at 9:25pm, around every 30min. There is only standing tickets for sale on these rides and costs CNY20 per person. Hope this information can help you a little.

Shenzhen Aiport (SZX) to Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
What is the fastest way to get from SZX to Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong?

1. Does it make sense to take the Shenzhen to Hong Kong high speed train?
2. Is it easier to just take the subway line 1 and transfer to the Lo Wu Station?
3. Where does immigration take place when crossing from Shenzhen to Hong Kong?

Thanks,
Stephanie

I think the most convenient way should be bus. There are buses offer to Tsim Sha Tsui area from the airport, runs around every 20 or 30min. You will do the immigration at Shenzhen Bay Port.
